Owned by Sardinians, every dish was better than the next. I had the Strangolapreti which was a great balance of light and filling - spinach and cheese dumplings; the calamari was tender with a red sauce with just the right amount of heat; the veal picatta was tender; fresh bread and mozzarella; and the pasta was freshly made and al dente. Terrific hosts. And to made this even better, we sat outside. They have a terrific terrace and you are transported to another site. Great meal. And the pizza rocks as well.

We came upon this place while on our way from Salzburg to Vienna, and were looking for a place to…read morestop and grab something light and simple for lunch. It is indeed a pizza place with lots of choices of pizza items, as well as drinks. The business is divided into two: there is an inside seating arena and an outside arena that has its own bar and seating. This review concerns the outside seating and service rendered. Rated with 2 stars because we found the man behind the bar extremely rude in his approach to customer service. He appeared to be the supervisor and there was a young woman wth him as well who did most of the running around bringing food from inside the restaurant, while this fellow sat around on his stool dictating and directing with a level of arrogance befitting a Nazi ordering around his untermensch. After we ordered the lunch special which included a soup and a pizza, we found ourselves with a soup different from the one ordered. He did not tell us upfront that one does not have choice in the soup - even though it appears so. We are vegetarian and we told him that the soup had a chichen broth base because it was clearly evident from the taste. His attitude back to us was: take it or leave it. After we were done with our pizza, there were two halves left and we wanted a doggie-box. Instead, of bringing a pizza box (which I had seen him do for other customers on other tables) he brought an aluminium foil roll and told us we could wrap the leftover pizza halves if we wanted to take them with us. No amount of requesting was going to budge this fellow to give us a pizza box: that was not possible according to his Nazi ubermensch attitude. So I went inside the restaurant and asked the chef himself if we could have a pizza box to take our leftovers - he obliged without any hesitation - and I protested to him that his representative outside was not exactly welcoming in his approach to customer service. People should not be working in these people-facing jobs if they dont have the decency to be polite to customers or if they plan to discriminate between customers. I will not be returning to this resetaurant, ever, on our next trip to Vienna some time later in the year. Pizzas were not tasty either - mediocre. Soup was ok. Price was fantastic. Portions were fantastic. Pity about the attitude and service of the man in charge outside. Shame on you for your bad attitude.

Our Waitress was friendly, attentive and willing to please. We had some wine and the thickest hot chocolate ever. Caprese with prosciutto, Margherita Pizza, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Pizza, Lasagna and Penne Bolognese. Everything was hot, delicious and plentiful. Enjoy!

The most negative thing I can say about Nonna Gina is that they only take cash…read more Nonna Gina is a cute small restaurant found in the medieval looking streets of Cesky Krumlov. The outside is a cute unassuming restaurant front. Downstairs you have the kitchen and a gorgeous staircase up to the dining area. The restaurant seating is small so coming early or making a reservation is a great idea. The food here was top notch Italian food. The pizza tasted fresh and was authentic. The pasta was equally amazing. Prices are fair, albeit in cash. I do wish they had some different beers on tap as there is something inherently wrong with drinking Budweiser in one of the beer capitals of the world. Overall, NG is really top notch and one of the better meals I had in weeks of eating out throughout Czech Republic.

We were…read morequickly seated but had to ask our server about timing since we had to meet up with our tour group at a certain time. She seemed slightly annoyed by our request but also made sure we didn't have to wait crazy long for our food. I ordered (and shared) a white pizza with spinach and speck. My friend ordered a salad. We both really enjoyed our meal, and I'd daresay this one of my all-time favorite, most memorable meals in the Czech Republic. Everything tasted really fresh and you could even see the chef making the pizzas. The atmosphere was bright and airy -- good for family outings, for casual meals with friends, and for anyone in the mood for Italian.

Server was a very sweet, but overworked, lady. The gnocchi was over seasoned, strong on the salt. On the other hand, the tagliatelle was under seasoned and on the bland side.

Cozy, reasonably priced place for very decent Italian food in Cesky Krumlov…read more Comfy seating areas both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor seating area includes a playground for kids too :) Would highly recommend the spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino if you can take spicy, and the pizza prosciutto di parma. The pasta is hand-made; very tasty and slightly chewy (a bit on the harder side, which I personally like). Excellent prosciutto on the pizza and tasty crust (not too thin, but not too thick either). The mixed salad with cheese and olives and the spaghetti bolognese were solid choices as well. We had a very patient and helpful waiter, service was excellent and we left feeling replenished and satisfied!

I was wandering around the center looking for a coffee place open on a Sunday morning and found cafe retro. Staff was very kind, spoke English, Czech and some German. Interior is very classy but still casual. Very clean, neat and organized- I think couples, single and small groups best for here. Kid ah, maybe if they are well behaved. More a place to be social but people are still working on their laptops because here comes the shocker....they have free wifi!!!! Not many places here do besides hotels so that's a selling point. Their prices are fair for the location, 50 crowns for latte, 35 for espresso and so on. They also have quite a few different brews to choose from-impressive If you're a coffee lover in this small town with not many options. They also have some real food here too so if you get hungry while here don't worry, you don't even have to leave. Think pizza, pasta and steak amount others. All looked delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone in cesky krumlov- great hangout!
